Hal Prince Talks About The State Of Modern Broadway

“I think there’s a mistake being made. We haven’t encouraged the young composers and lyricists as we did the earlier generation. In the course of my career, I did the first show with Bock and Harnick, and then with Sondheim, and then with Jason [Robert] Brown [‘Parade’], who is a young and very, very gifted fellow. It’s hard to get those people on Broadway now, and one of the main reasons is money and also the nature of producing.”
